fixed my showerThis is the genuine Delta replacement. It does work much better than the knock off Danco sold at big box stores. The flapper part is back and more pliable. Definitely worth a bit more money and the installation is the same.

Wonderful experience.Genuine Delta part, not an after market look-alike. Service was excellent. Employee was helpful and courteous. Fast delivery. From placing my order until it was installed, only 3 days elapsed. Very clear installation instructions, even this 74 year old woman got it done without a hitch.

DiverterI ordered the shower diverter, and it came very quickly. It was made of metal, not plastic, and was a good fit. I really like the instructions, that were clear and easy to read. I have never replaced one of these, but I followed the instructions and it went smooth.

Wish i'd ordered sooner!!!!!!!I was looking for a replacement diverter valve for a twenty-six plus year old delta shower unit. Well, i found this site, scrolled through all the shower units and still didn't find the one we have(it came over on the ark), so after a few weeks of procrastinating, i ordered this valve. It was shipped really fast, i installed it(which was as easy as taking out three screws and one nut) and wouldn't you know it, i fixed my shower!!

Saved me $$$,I have had to learn to fix many things since losing my husband in 2006. I was able to follow your instructions and review the schematic for installation and it worked the first time! This saved me $$$ which we all have to convserve in todays economy but I do especially since I became unemployed right after I received the part. So I could not have asked for a better deal since my income has diminished so much in the last 2-3 yrs. I plan to purchase from you for my future faucet needs. Thanks. Saving in OK.

Is this part universal for all delta faucets?

Thank you for your question, Jeff! This Push-Button Diverter will work with any Delta shower faucets that come with a push-button diverter.
Best regards, Jon

What size socket is needed to remove and install this diverter stem for Delta RP5649?

Asked by: Matt

Thank you for your question, Matt! We recommend using an adjustable wrench. However, a 7/8&quot; socket will fit the diverter.

Do you need to turn off the main water switch in the house when you change a delta diverter?

Asked by: Joey

Thank you for your question, Joey! It is always recommended to shut the water off to the unit, room or home when making a repair so as to avoid any accidents. With the handle in the &quot;off&quot; position, you would not necessarily need to shut off the rest of the water supply for this type of installation.
Best regards, Edward

what is the difference between the rp5649 and the rp5649-3

Asked by: curious

Hi Curious,
Thank you for your question. The Delta Push-Button Diverter RP5649 and RP5649-3 are the same diverter assemblies. The RP5649-3 is an exclusive part number for ordering from Home Depot.
Best regards,
Tanya

Can you tell me what size of shower valve socket wrench is required to install this piece? thanks.

Asked by: Jim

I couldn't get an adjustable wrench through the hole in the wall to grip the part. I bought a 22mm socket for a 1/2 inch drive. The hole in that socket is big enough to slip over the pushbutton and grip the head on the part. I then used a vice-grip pliers to turn the socket and get the old one out and the new one in.

Do you have a diagram or video showing the correct alignment?

Asked by: MsFixIt

Hi Ms FixIt,
Thank you for your question. The diverter does not require a specific alignment as the seal/button can rotate within the threaded piece.
Best regards,
Jon

When replacing this part, do I need to use thread sealant?

Asked by: Dave

Hi Dave, Thank you for your question!
There is no need for plumbers tape when installing the RP5649 push button diverter.
